North Koreas NEW Tank is a Nightmare Task & Purpose 2024-04-05 | If you’re ever injured in an accident, you can check out Morgan & Morgan. You can start your claim in just a click without having to leave your couch. To start your claim, visit: forthepeople.com/TaskandPurpose?s=86%3A2313The M2020 was first unveiled in October of 2020, during a military parade celebrating the 75th anniversary of the North Korean Communist Workers’ Party. A total of nine drove down the main avenue during the parade, sporting what looked like modern optics, armor plating, and even active protection systems. The prototype tanks were shown off along with their new rocket systems, and a mobile gun system that’s definitely not a stryker at all. MERCH Drop: taskandpurpose.myspreadshop.com By all accounts, the M2020 is still in its prototyping and testing phase, and each time this tank has popped up, it’s been a bit more developed. But based on current information and looking at the rest of the DPRK’s tank fleet, we have a good idea of where the tank is at in production, and what its rough capabilities are. One of the first things you’ll notice about the M2020 is just how visually distinct it is compared to what North Korea has shown off in the past. Historically the country has used a derivative of Russian T-62 tank designs. Trade embargos on the country, especially in the realm of military equipment have largely prevented North Korea from obtaining modern tank technology. The tanks we do see are generally frankensteined designs incorporating a base model T-62 design, with various overlapping additions from other tanks like T-72s and Type 88s as they’ve managed to get pieces of them.Currently North Korea fields three designs, the Chonma-ho, the Pokpung-ho, and Songun-915, the latter of which was equipped with a standard 125mm smoothbore cannon. Typically with each newer iteration of North Korean tank, a few incremental upgrades are all that are done with each, but the M2020 quickly broke this trend. On the surface the new tank looks like a rough combination of an M1 Abrams, the T-14 Armata, and Chinese VT-4 in some areas. This has led to some speculation that China or Russia provided some level of assistance in designing the tank, which would fall in line with trends of greater cooperation between North Korea and the other two countries. This comparison to Western tanks was highlighted with its choice of desert camo, which by all accounts is useless in the Korean peninsula, but similar to a majority of modern tanks it would be based on. The latest images of the M2020 post 2023 and into 2024 now show them sporting a darker greener look, which is more suited to North Korea’s geography. Additionally with the new paint came the addition of explosive reactive armor bricks on the turret, and what appears to be T-14-like ERA plating on the side, which was absent in the initial introduction in 2020.

Ukraines Home Built Missile is Better Than You Think Task & Purpose 2024-10-21 | Whether you're a hunter, outdoor enthusiast, military professional, or law enforcement officer, Armasight’s Night Vision and Thermal Imaging gear offers durability, reliability, and top performance you can trust. bit.ly/3YjMvzrUkraine has been working on developing their own ballistic missile system for a while. Way back in the ancient days of 1996, they first started a project codenamed “Borysfen” to replace their Soviet-era Tochka-U ballistic missiles. Ukraine inherited about 500 Tochka missiles after the fall of the Soviet Union and Ukraine wanted a newer system to expand on the 120 kilometer range of the old missile along with the industrial benefits of developing their own domestic arms industry. Based on the capabilities of the last system we can fill in the blanks a little and guesstimate what the new one will have. The Tochka-U fired operated similar to how the Iskander launcher does. It’s main high explosive warhead was pretty huge at 420 kilograms or 930 lb, for context that’s like twice the boom of an ATACMs. But the problem is the accuracy because the Tochka-U has a circular error probable of hitting within 95 m of the intended target.If you’re aiming at a giant base that might not be too bad but nowadays we expect higher levels of precision. This is a hint as to what might have been upgraded here. For context HIMARs rockets are meant to hit within 10 meters of point of aim.

The Israel - Iran Proxy War Explained Task & Purpose 2024-10-18 | Check out this Q&A (twz.com/sponsored-content/shield-ai-looks-to-unleash-its-hivemind-autonomy-software-on-multiple-platforms) to learn how Shield AI’s Hivemind—a platform-agnostic, self-driving autonomy stack for aircraft—enables autonomous operations in GPS- and communications-denied environments, facilitating AI-driven swarming and collaborative mission execution. Real aircraft, real autonomy. www.shield.ai@Shield_AI I think One of the most tangible examples of economic cooperation between them was the Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline Company (EAPC), which was an oil pipeline constructed in the 1960s to transport Iranian oil to Israel. They were originally 50/50 partners on the venture. One of the reasons the pipeline was built was to bypass Egypt's control of the Suez Canal after it was closed to Israeli shipping during the Arab-Israeli conflicts. That means the pipeline allowed oil to flow from Iran through the Red Sea to Israel, where it could then be refined and shipped to Europe.Written by: Chris Cappy & Isaac Saypharath Edited by: SyedOr look at this declassified and sanitized CIA document that my handler gave to me, I mean that I found in my research, this document reveals how closely Israeli and Iranian intelligence had worked together in the 1960s and even in the 1980’s. Here’s a quote from the CIA document: “Israel regularly sold armaments to IRan during the Shah’s reign mainly small arms mortars and ammunition provided engine overhaul and maintenance support for Iran's air force an army and extended technical support to IRan’s infant defense industry” redacted section. Then it says “the arms sale gave a significant boost to Israel’s fledgling defense industries and barter arrangements secured much needed oil in return for arms and technical assistance” end quote. So The CIA facilitated this friendship to the degree that they could because it worked to balance against the soviets. Much of geopolitics involves hidden motivations and alliances that we often do not learn about until many years later. Lets make no mistake, Iran and Israel were not very public about the depth of their relationship. This was a closested friendship because of a number of reasons not least of which the potential backlash from other Muslim-majority nations if they found out about this. But behind the scenes, they worked closely together. Here’s how this frinemie type situation worked. So Iran supplied Israel with oil, and in return, Israel provided military aid. This unlikely alliance was built on mutual security concerns. Classic, You scratch my back I’ll tickle your fickle arrangement.

How Egypt’s Army Smoked ISIS on their Own Territory Task & Purpose 2024-10-16 | Level up your business today with Odoo! odoo.com/r/IdpeOver the past decade the Egyptian military has waged a major land battle against ISIS on their own territory. When Operation Eagle first kicked in August 2011 the Egyptian military deployed 2,500 troops, armored vehicles, special forces brigades, main battle tanks and attack helicopters on their own territory inside the Sinai Peninsula, largely on the sensitive border with Israel. Funker 530 Podcast episode: youtube.com/watch?v=EWvJQd_6W1UWritten by: Chris Cappy and Diego Aceituno Edited by: SyedSince then the battle has extended in one form or another all the way to 2023 when it was declared over by the Egyptian government. The mission's goal was to crush ISIS militants and insurgency that had spiraled out of control threatening the region's natural resources and vital trade routes. We’ll see how over the course of a decade the Egyptian military's counterinsurgency strategy evolved, from one of brute force to collaboration with local tribes, revealing lessons about the kind of innovative steps it took to defeat a force like ISIS.The Sinai Peninsula is often called the "Bridge Between Continents” because it connects Africa, Asia and the Middle east. It happens to be located in one of the most strategically important places in the world because it forms the eastern half of the vital Suez Canal, where about 15% of global trade passes through each year. 6.4 million barrels worth of oil transits the canal every day. Essentially a complete blockade of this route would block $9 billion dollars of commerce every day. Historically speaking the Sinai Peninsula has long served as a route for the smuggling of weapons and supplies. The first step of Egypt’s Operation Eagle was to regain control by setting up checkpoints throughout 3 key locations. The first was Arish, then they went to secure the part of the city of Rafah that is in Egypt. Then they moved into Sheikh Zuwaid. As the Egyptian military forces of Operation Eagle crossed over into the Sinai Peninsula, many residents living there initially thought it was just another crackdown. What followed would be far more intense than that.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

U.S Troops Get Hands On New M10 Booker Light Tank Task & Purpose 2024-10-11 | PDS Debt is offering a free debt analysis. It only takes thirty seconds. Get yours at https://PDSDebt.com/task23US army paratroopers of the 82nd airborne are finally getting their hands on the newest armored vehicle, the M10 Booker. Philistines call it a light tank, men of culture call it an M10 booker and big brain’s call it the mobile protected firepower. Whatever you call it, I want to know what actual soldiers and officers think about it, how its new capabilities promise to radically change how light infantry fight, and whether or not the M10 booker is the right tool for the job. Written by: Chris Cappy and Diego AceitunoEdited by: Savvy StudiosFirst Let's dive into one of the most important aspects of the M10 booker, the thing that goes boom. It’s Equipped with the M35 rifled 105mm cannon which is a low-recoil tank gun. This allows the M10 Booker to fire a powerful round while on the move without overwhelming the vehicle's relatively light chassis and flipping the thing over.There have been recent advances in cannon and ammo technology that makes a light tank more deadly today. Just take a look at this October 19th 2023 contract that the army publicly released. It gives us insight into their thinking. It says they are seeking a source to produce M393A3 High Explosive Plastic (HEP) Cartridges. Quote ” The M393A3 Cartridge is capable of defeating standard earth and timber bunkers and breaching double reinforced concrete walls so that infantry can pass through.” The army is asking for production of a munition that can knock down two pieces of concrete with rebar reinforcement between them. To get a better idea of the M10 bookers role and purpose, here is Maj. Gen. Glenn Dean, program executive officer of Army Ground Combat Systems, he said quote “The M10 Booker is an armored vehicle that is intended to support our Infantry Brigade Combat Teams by suppressing and destroying fortifications, gun systems and trench routes, and then secondarily providing protection against enemy armored vehicles.” end quote.

Russian Forces Attempt to Retake in Kursk Task & Purpose 2024-10-08 | Go to http://ground.news/task to compare coverage and stay fully informed on military developments around the world. Subscribe through my link for 40% off the Vantage Plan for unlimited access, this month only.Russian forces have started their counter attack inside the Kursk region with the goal of pushing all Ukrainian troops out. I want to examine 2 main things in this episode: first the results of this offensive campaign, then the impact of new foreign aid flowing into both Ukraine and Russia. Starting with the battle in Kursk. Beginning on September 10th 2024 Russian troops launched their attack - two days later the Russian ministry of defense had reported they had recaptured at least 10 settlements. In that initial push alone they recaptured roughly 20% of the territory back. Russia is now advancing in Russia. The main effort to pay attention to here I think, is on the western flank of the Ukrainian held territory. And The key town you need to know about here is (koh-reh-NOH-voh) Korenovo because it sits right on the edge of the (same) Seim river.There is a very important reason why Russia aimed at recapturing Koh-reh-noh-voh, This is because Retaking this bit of land was strategically important for their follow on operations. This push was designed to clear a land route for their soldiers who were previously trapped between Ukrainian forces in Kursk AND south of the Seim river.Written by: Chris Cappy & Armando Duerte Galan & George BurdenEdited by: Michael Michaelides Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

Normally, you need to be an F-35 or a Patriot missile system to be at the center of such international intrigue. The whole controversy started in April 2024, when a battery of these launchers were forward deployed to Luzon in the Philippines.Written by : Chris Cappy and Justin TaylorEdited by : Michael Michaelides It was their first ever major test to see how they might actually work in the field. At the annual Balochistan Joint Military exercise between the United States and the Filipino armed Forces, you see, the Typhon launcher is central to U.S. military's evolve strategy to counter rival adversaries, which is diplomatic speak for Russia and China. And so confirming that it could actually be supported anywhere in the world is key to deterrence.

Israel Invades Lebanon and is hit by Irans Missile Attack Task & Purpose 2024-10-03 | Israel launched a ground campaign into southern Lebanon to push Hezbollah fighters back while Iran has reportedly just fired off a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation.

It’s my goal to help clear up some of the fog of war that we’re witnessing right now.On September 30th 2024 Israeli Special Forces launched targeted raids directly across the border. Their objective is to pave the way for the larger ground campaign that will be made up of conventional forces. The scale of the assault is actually larger than that makes it sound though. According to the IDF they’ve committed one whole army division which numbers 10,000 soldiers. The term special forces in Israel can mean their well trained commandos who number in the many thousands, the term in the IDF and the way its being reported in the mainstream media is a little differently than it is used in the US military.

Why NATO Troops Switched to the HK416 Task & Purpose 2024-09-27 | Create a professional website in minutes today for free! Check Out Odoo: odoo.com/r/ES9w.The HK-416 rifle is quietly taking over the world as one of the most widely used primary weapon systems! This all started back In 2007 when Norway was the first country to widely adopt it for their conventional force, grabbing more than 60,000 rifles. Fast forward ten years and In 2016 France began swapping out their FAMAS for the when they placed just a massive Cosco size bulk order of 117,000 rifles. Now they were on a rolls because only A year later in 2017 the entire United States Marine corps switched to the HK416. They’ve since acquired 14,000 of these rifles to their front line combat roles. But you might not have heard about it because they made tiny adjustments to the weapon and renamed it to the M27 IAR, Norway put an N at the end of the name and France tossed an F to throw us all off. If it looks like a duck quacks like a duck and shoots like an HK416 then it's probably an HK416. The rabbit hole gets even deeper as we continue to dig. By 2021 the German military made the call to switch to the HK416 by ordering 118,000 of the rifles. But they named it to the G95A1 but it’s basically the same exact weapon with some minor improvements and upgrades. That’s a grand total of at least 309,000 rifles ordered under one name or another. That's not even including the dozen or so special forces units who run the weapon - which means it's found in at least 30 different countries.Written by Chris Cappy & Diego AceitunoCredit to InrangeTV for the awesome mudtest footage: youtube.com/@UCeUNM9NqJqZXfRNeuW4_2sg Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

Inside Chinas Secret Spy Base in Cuba Task & Purpose 2024-09-20 | Go to http://ground.news/task to stay fully informed on what's happening around the world. Subscribe through my link for 40% off the Vantage Plan for unlimited access, this month only.The Chinese Communist Party is operating a network of spy bases in Cuba just 90 miles off the coast of Florida. In July 2024 the Center for Strategic and International Studies published a a report outlining how they are growing a network of signals intelligence bases here. Similar to how the United States military runs intelligence gathering operations in Taiwan right near China - it appears like China is trying to turn the turntables back around. Written by: Chris Cappy & Patrick GriffinEdited by: Michael MichaelidesThese radars could jam and use electronic warfare capabilities against US assets; they could monitor several key military bases nearby. So When did these radar networks first appear? What is their purpose? Are Cuban Communists responsible for jamming my car radio? Are they whispering sweet marxists ideology through my Alexa while I sleep? I’m your average infantryman Chris Cappy lets find out. Ever since Cuba’s communist revolution led by Fidel Castro in January of 1959, the country has remained a partner for fellow communist nations for several reasons. Of one which is its close proximity to the United States which makes Cuba the perfect location to peek over at the United States to see what they are up to. I know I sound paranoid when I say they are listening to us but just take a look at (beh-hoo-KAHL) Bejucal Cuba. In 1962 at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, this military satellite and radar station here was crucial for monitoring the airspace around the island as they looked for U.S. spy planes and other threats. And ever since then Rumors of these spy stations have been around for decades. Just look at this 1964 declassified document from the CIA, you can see of US intelligence has long been analyzing photographs of their communication stations capabilities. But Some of the earliest public statements I could dig up on the matter come from 2005 when Albert Santoli first testified on this to the US congress’s china economic security review commission. His testimony laid out all the reasons But Today this base has recently undergone some major renovations. Take a look at these satellite images from Google Earth that show the construction of a new SIGINT facility identified by CSIS.Large scale construction began in 2017. The white ball on top of the finished structure appears to be a radome, what is a radome you ask? It’s a structural weatherproof enclosure that protects an internal radar system. It basically keeps it safe and sound from the nasty elements. When I measure it , we can see that the radome appears to be approximately 20 feet in diameter. Based on the size, we know it could cover a number of different radars from satellite communications to military-grade radar for tracking and surveillance.

Americas Twin Cannon Artillery Helicopter is Wild Task & Purpose 2024-09-10 | The American Army created a helicopter borne Chinook artillery concept.

F-16 Fighters Combat in Ukraine Analysis Task & Purpose 2024-08-30 | Head to my link, drinkag1.com/taskandpurpose, to get a FREE one-year supply of AG Vitamin D3+K2, plus five AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase of AG1!Western F-16 fighter jets have arrived in Ukraine and we’re finally getting some initial reports on how they are performing in combat. How does the F-16 match up against the Russian fighters they’ll be flying against? What tactics and strategies will Ukraine deploy them with? And which types of new support aircraft might significantly enhance the F-16s firepower? On August 4th, President Zelensky announced that the first batch of the much anticipated F-16 Fighting Falcons were in-country and had begun combat operations as part of the Ukrainian Air Force. I’ll say right off the bat, there is a tendency by some publications to get overhyped on weapon systems and create outsized unrealistic expectations for the effect they will have on the war in Ukraine. On the other hand, there’s also an effort by the pro-Russian media to downplay the positive cumulative effect these weapon systems like the F-16 have for Ukraine. I think you’d rather me just give you the straight skinny. A total of around 85 F-16’s have been pledged by NATO countries. Of that 6 have been delivered so far and are in active combat operations, the rest may take years to arrive in batches. By august 27th these jets were deployed for the first time in active combat. I wanted to wait until now to give until some facts were in to give you an assessment. The F-16 initially successfully intercepted and shot down incoming Russian cruise missiles and drones. This mission is vital for Ukraine from a strategic point of view because the Russian missiles are aimed at their power generation facilities. But August 29th saw one of the worst Russian missile attacks when 74 drones and 5 missiles were launched. An F-16 pilot who goes by the callsign moonfish was responding to a wave of russian missiles. During the engagement radio operators lost contact with Moonfish’s F-16. The Ukrainian government confirmed his plane crashed and the pilot was KIA but there is no word yet on whether it was shot down, mechanical error or something else. However the thing that jumps out to me about this engagement is that it reveals to us more information about the Ukrainian Air Forces’s strategy with the F-16. The aircraft was not lost flying near Kursk or Sumy and it was not lost near the border while dropping glide bombs. It appears that early assessments were accurate and Ukraine is using the F-16 so far in a defensive role to intercept missiles. And we’ll get more into why exactly that is later in the video. The F-16’s are tasked with air defense duty. One of the huge advantages Ukraine is about to gain that has a huge impact on the F-16 , that a lot of people aren’t talking about is the Saab 340 airborne early warning radar aircraft. Sweden announced in May they were sending 2 which will significantly enhance their air and sea surveillance capabilities. This gets talked about less because it’s not a sexy F-16 firing missiles at peoples faces but it’s actually a completely new capability because Ukraine has no radar aircraft currently in their inventory. The only way to take more full advantage of the F-16 and its weapons is with this asset. This is essentially a twin turbo prop plane with a fancy high tech radar slapped ontop and software to communicate with the F-16. It absolutely kills me in my heart of hearts to use the defense buzzword word “force multiplier” but that’s exactly what this is for the F-16. ptwu pwtwu gross buzzword. The reason its a force multiplier is because its radar can identify and track incoming missiles then pass that target data to the F-16’s weapons systems. Its like when you use the Satellite Uplink in Command and conquer to reveal the fog of war over the battlefield. It gives you a clear view of the enemy movements. Once these two are paired and once more aircraft arrive is when we could start to see the Ukranian F-16 switch to a more offensive role. Their only downside is that they fly slow at 300 miles per hour so they’re a bigger target as we’ve seen Russia has already lost 2 of their radar aircraft. However, Ukrainian pilots are fighting with some disadvantages. Their Russian adversaries outnumber them in total aircraft 13 times over, and Russian pilots have access to the latest versions of Eastern fighters and weapons.

Hopefully I was able to explain myself here. Hopefully I was able to explain that war is horrible and has stuck with me in many ways. The spare parts army is the guys who weren't special forces, its your average infantryman, the regular guys who got reclassied from engineer and artillery to plus up units deploying, the guys who were back filled and stop lossed.

Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.You're looking at one of the 450 intercontinental ballistic missile silos that are strategically scattered across the vast expanse of the American Midwest, far from any coastline or major population center. Each silo extends 100 feet underground, using the earth and concrete as protection from enemy strikes. These doomsday minuteman III ICBMs can reach anywhere in the world within 30 minutes. But there’s a problem. The Minuteman III missile is fast aging out, it first came online in 1970 and until recently they were programmed with old school floppy disks. We’re approaching a point where their systems won’t work properly anymore. Updating them has been a low priority compared to submarine and air-launched nukes, which can stay hidden and are mobile targets. written by: Chris Cappy and Diego AceitunoVideo Edited and Produced by: Michael MichaelidesThis is where the Sentinel missile upgrade program comes into play. If the US is going to do this then the cheapest option is to replace all missiles with a new series called LGM-35 sentinel. The problem is….its already two years behind schedule and $45 billion dollars over budget before a single missile is even on the production line. It’s currently 80% higher than initial estimates back in 2019. Proponents of the weapon argue it’s literally the top defense priority and cost do not matter as a factor. The 2010 US Nuclear Posture Review argues that if any single leg of the Nuclear Triad is allowed to lag behind the others, it ceases to be a credible threat, diminishing the combined deterrent of all three and making nuclear conflict more likely, not less.

U.S Plan to Destroy Iran’s Missile Bases Task & Purpose 2024-08-23 | Get 50% off your first order of Sundays: sundaysfordogs.com/dogtasks or use code DOGTASKS at checkout.The United States of America military has several plans for how to destroy underground bunkers. The US Army / Air Force and Marines can attack many of these sites are over 100 meters underground. Even the United States of America GBU-57 bomb, designed specifically for a doomsday scenario, can only penetrate up to 60 meters of mountain before it explodes. To destroy these sites, Israel and the US would need a better bomb. But even if such a bomb exists, splitting a mountain is no simple feat. Air craft carriers, f-18 fighters, b-2 bombers, b-21 stealth bombers and F-15s stastioned in Jordan air base would be available. Delta Force and other U.S special forces green berets and SOF units could deploy on the ground to take them out.The existence of these deeply buried facilities was one of the primary motivations behind the U.S. Air Force’s development of the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bunker buster bomb in 2004. However, the actual capabilities of this bomb remain classified, and estimates suggest that it may fall 30 to 40 meters short of reaching the deepest Iranian facilities. How stable these underground bases are and whether they would collapse from bombing is not known. Written by: Chris Cappy and Armando GalanEdited by Syed If we assume the U.S. stealth bombers could penetrate the air defense network and breach the 100 meters of earth covering these facilities, they would still face another obstacle: 2.5 meters of fortified concrete protecting the base. However, By leveraging new advances in GPS guidance, it's now feasible for a series of bunker busters to be targeted to the same location with B-2 Spirit stealth bombers which could increase its max depth and bring Iran's underground ballistic missile launch sites and nuclear facilities into range. The U.S Navy has assets like submarine launched missiels as well. The U.S Air Force is working on new tactics to defeat these defenses. The non-explosive versions of the Guided Bomb Unit 57E/B variant could be used as a tool to prepare the site for future bombs. Essentially they would loosen and clear ground. This technique could be used in the dense terrain of the Zagros Mountains, allowing each bomb to burrow progressively deeper, breaching layers of reinforced concretJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

The link and code are valid in all countries and the respective local discount will apply.Are US special Forces permanently stationed in Taiwan’s just 3 miles from mainland china? In early 2024 Taiwan’s United Daily News publication ran a story stating US green berets were building permanent bases on the offshore islands of Kinmen and Penghu. You can actually see China’s skyscrapers with the naked eye from there. This news was a major shock to the world and was re-run by dozens outlets. This is the very definition of big if true! But a decision like that would have had to be cleared by the US INDO PACIFIC commander Admiral John (Ah-kee-LEE-noh) Aquilino. He’s the guy in charge of operations in this region. Here’s what he had to say about that story when the U.S. House Armed Services Committee asked him about it: 2:00:00 So the U.S government is firmly denying that’s the case. The denial is consistent with the broader U.S. foreign policy of strategic ambiguity regarding Taiwan. So the big question is are these soldiers actually permanently deployed or rotational? What’s the difference between rotational and permanent stationed troops and why does the distinction even matter?Here’s the facts that we know for certain. This United States congressional research document says 40 US personnel helped trained Taiwnese troops in 2023 on a rotational basis. What were those 40 doing? The US Defense Department said they were responsible for guarding the American institute in Taiwan which is the unofficial US embassy in the country. The U.S keeps any training relatively quiet so as not to provoke China. They state “U.S.-Taiwan defense cooperation is robust, but has been conducted largely out of the public eye due to the unofficial nature of the U.S.-Taiwan relationship and concerns that significant, public enhancements of defense ties could provoke Beijing to step up coercion and threats against the island, or even trigger the conflict the United States seeks to deter.” But We also know that a year later In 2024 the number of rotational US military personnel in Taiwan increased from 40 to as many as 200. It seems unlikely they’re also just guarding the American institute. We can get a pretty good idea of what their missions is by looking at the annual National Defense Authorization Act. The National Defense Authorization Act is a United States federal law that governors the policies of the U.S. Department of Defense. It’s Passed by Congress, and it's critical for outlining defense strategy. Congress has required that the US military do several things “practical training and military exercises with Taiwan” as well as maintain “exchanges between defense officials of the United States and Taiwan at the strategic, policy, and functional levels.” Then there is the 2023 Taiwan ENHANCED RESILIENCE act which requires the US military to do a full audit of Taiwan’s ability to defend it’s critical infrastructure including it’s transportation and communications networks. It requires a full rundown be made on Taiwan’s ability to employ their long range precision fires and missile defense systems. Us special Forces could be tasked with making these assessments and recommendations. written by: Chris Cappy and Patrick GriffinEdited by: Michael Michaelidesinstagram.com/cappyarmyhttps://x.com/CappyarmyJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

Inside China’s Massive Artillery Branch Task & Purpose 2024-08-09 | PDS Debt is offering a free debt analysis. It only takes thirty seconds. Get yours at https://PDSDebt.com/task23The Chinese People's Liberation Army claims to have the largest artillery force in the world today. Open source intelligence estimates them to have 9,500 artillery pieces in its arsenal. But exactly how capable is their hardware and how well trained are their soldiers? And how badly will this video ruin my social credit score in Beijing?The United States Defense Intelligence Agency in their 2019 China Military Power Report, mentions that artillery is the key to understanding the entire PLA Ground Force. This is because over one third of their force is based on arty. So it might be a good idea for us to check in and see what they’re up to. Call for fire on the like button then repeat on subscribe if you want to see two defense videos each week. Written by: Chris Cappy and TonyEdited by: Savvy StudiosWhen the PLA was first established in 1927 they had very limited artillery using what was called mountain guns or pack howitzers. They could be taken apart into smaller pieces to be transported over mountain terrain easier. Not much firepower. However, Right After World War 2 ended the CCP straight up issued a directive that all soldiers and citizens had to collect shells that had been left behind by the Japanese army. Hey are you busy on Saturday? No it’s awesome I’m just taking a me day, gonna chill so hard. Not anymore you’re not go pick up artillery shells until I get tired! This grass roots campaign if you want to call it that , collected 700 artillery pieces and 500,000 rounds that had been abandoned. During their 2nd civil war with the Koumintang the CCP captured more artillery giving them an odd hodgepodge of Japanese, German and American hardware. By this point they were very comfortable using other mens cannons. instagram.com/cappyarmyhttps://x.com/Cappyarmydiscord.com/invite/M56sE5xjFareddit.com/r/Taskandpurpose2sources:1) https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN34236-ATP_7-100.3-001-WEB-3.pdf2) cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP79-01093A001000090001-8.pdf3) https://nwc.ndu.edu/About/Faculty/ArticleView/Article/3198554/dr-mark-clodfelter/4) defenseone.com/threats/2023/04/chinas-secretive-quest-heavier-artillery/3857095) web.archive.org/web/20230329142244/http:/www.weain.mil.cn/cggg/jdgg/1640990881490792449.shtml?v=202303291614486) zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD%E4%BA%BA%E6%B0%91%E8%A7%A3%E6%94%BE%E5%86%9B%E9%99%86%E5%86%9B%E8%A3%85%E5%A4%87#%E8%BA%AB%E7%AE%A1%E7%81%AB%E7%82%AE7) https://x.com/CasualArtyFan8) cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP79-01093A001000090001-8.pdf9) https://www.mnd.gov.tw/NewUpload/201711/p26-51_082919.pdf10) https://www.mnd.gov.tw/NewUpload/201912/P15-42%E5%85%B1%E8%BB%8D%E8%BB%8D%E6%94%B9%E5%BE%8C%E9%99%B8%E8%BB%8D%E7%A0%B2%E5%85%B5%E9%83%A8%E9%9A%8A%E7%8F%BE%E6%B3%81%E8%88%87%E5%B0%8D%E6%88%91%E9%98%B2%E8%A1%9B%E4%BD%9C%E6%88%B0%E4%B9%8B%E5%BD%B1%E9%9F%BF_550476.pdf11) https://jjamwal.in/yayavar/chinese-armed-forces-orbat-part-3-ground-forces/12) web.archive.org/web/20131109161407/http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20130701000036&cid=1101Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

But moving that many troops would be a massive undertaking unlike anything we’ve seen in recent history. How does NATO plan to achieve that goal? What challenges are there to deploying that many soldiers across the world? And what are some of the strengths and weaknesses of a collective defense alliance? Reddit:reddit.com/r/Taskandpurpose2Discord Invite: discord.gg/Xm2TvCHh9TInstagram:instagram.com/cappyarmyX: https://x.com/cappyarmyKey to understanding NATO’s plan are five new transportation routes, each one centered around a different port where transport ships filled with troops and vehicles would arrive. The stated reason for the creation of these new movement corridors is because Russia’s long range missiles could destroy ports, bridges or bases. Looking at this map we can see that all of Europe is within range of many types of Russian ballistic missiles. This would severely limit transportation options and could make mobilizing troops under the current plan unsustainable. newsweek.com/nato-plan-deploy-troops-russia-germany-1925150https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/bundeswehr-geheimplan-fuer-verlegung-von-soldaten-an-nato-ostflanke-a-2f92eeac-39d8-4c9a-9635-d6540120c3cdhttps://www.nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/pdf_2016_07/20160627_1607-factsheet-rap-en.pdfstrategic rail network America:https://www.sddc.army.mil/sites/TEA/Functions/SpecialAssistant/RND%20Publications/STRACNET%202023.pdfJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinWritten by: Chris Cappy & Justin TaylorEdited by: Savvy StudiosTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

Israel Kills Hamas Leader Deep Inside Iran Task & Purpose 2024-07-31 | Israel just eliminated two of the highest ranking leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah just a few hours apart in a shocking move. The political leader of Hamas Ismail Haniyeh was killed in a predawn air-strike that took place in the capital of Iran. The fact that this strike was conducted deep into Iranian soil means it’s unlike any attack we’ve seen and is a major escalation of the conflict. Let’s break down what this means for the Middle East, the tactics involved, and how Iran might respond.This raises questions about Iran’s air defense capabilities. Israel would have used their F-35 stealth fighter to evade their defensive systems. The distance from Israel to Tehran round trip is about 1800 miles or 3,000 km. But the F-35’s Max distance is relatively short at 1,300 miles. This means Israel would have needed to conduct a mid air refueling operation but that exposes slow flying refuelers near hostile air space .That’s why they could have chosen to deploy a new developed external fuel tank to extend their range. What strikes me about the attack right off the bat is its level of precision. The missile reportedly hit the exact room he was staying in the revolutionary guards guest house.instagram.com/cappyarmyDiscord Invite: discord.gg/Xm2TvCHh9TJoin this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

The chinese are coming the chinese are coming! The reason this has made world news headlines is because of the implication. Beijing hasn’t done a mission like this since 2015. The timing of this drill indicates the CCP is sending a warning message to the United States that they are prepared to deploy troops to fight against NATO in Europe. BUT it begs the question, COULD they actually project power into Europe? How many troops could they deploy and sustain that far away from their borders and how long would it take them to build up combat power?Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

How F-14s Shot Down Libyan Su-22s Task & Purpose 2024-07-17 | Head to my link, drinkag1.com/taskandpurpose, to get a FREE one-year supply of AG Vitamin D3+K2, plus five AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase of AG1!On August 19th 1981, two American F-14 Tomcats were caught in an intense air to air dogfight with a pair of Libyan Su-22 fighters. The Su-22’s got the drop on them and opened fire first. This engagement was the first time the unproven F-14 saw combat, and was instrumental in showing that the U.S. Navy was a way to enforce international law with force if needed while proving the F-14’s combat capabilities. In this video we’re going to talk about why Americans were fighting Libyans, how it all went down, and the insane engineering behind the F-14 that made it all possible. Written by: Chris Cappy and Justin TaylorEdited by: ArunFirst introduced in 1974, the Grunman F-14 Tomcat was the American Navy’s primary air superiority fighter and naval interceptor aircraft. Designed to be carrier capable, it was a twin engine, variable-sweep wing aircraft, that replaced the aging F-4 phantoms in the fleet. Each cost the Navy about $38 million at the time, adjusted for inflation that’s $135.5 million in today’s money, and was the first fourth generation aircraft in the American arsenal, also nicknamed the “teen series” with the F-15, 16, and F/A-18 following the Tomcat later. In 1973, Libyan dictator and future head of the Condoleeza Rice fan club, Muammar Gaddafi cut off international access to the Gulf of (SID-rah) Sidra, a massive 22,000 square mile section of the mediterranean off of Libya’s northern coast. His military forces aggressively policed the area, and Gaddafi declared the demarcation line along the border of the Gulf as “The Line of Death.”. Between 1973 and 1980, Libya’s military would often harass nearby American and NATO navies stationed in the Mediterranean, however the United States did not recognize Gaddafi’s claims of ownership in the Gulf, and asserted that it was still considered international waters. When countries, especially dictatorships, claim to own a piece of the ocean that falls outside of their national borders, the normal response from other countries wanting to sail in said water is what’s called a Freedom of Navigation operation, or FON. These usually consist of Navy battle groups being sent into the contested areas in question and saying “What are you gonna do about it?” National claims become a lot fuzzier in the ocean compared to clear land borders, and according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, territorial waters only extend 12 nautical miles off the coast. Navies around the world use Freedom of Navigation ops as a way to ensure countries don’t start claiming crazy amounts of the ocean for themselves, and things like international trade don’t get disrupted.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.

That time U.S and Russian Special Forces fought together Task & Purpose 2024-07-07 | On the border of Kosovo, a team of US Army Special Forces soldiers conducted joint missions with Russian Spetsnaz marking the only time in history that American operators worked with their Russian counterparts. This odd moment in history sees the two adversarial teams talking with each other about geopolitics over vodka and reacting to firefights in the streets. This occurred during a period of heightened tensions between the West and the post-Soviet Russian Federation. NATO had just intervened in the Bosnia and Kosovo Wars which were areas that Russia viewed as within its sphere of influence. After a sniper killed a Russian soldier the two reacted to contact conducting a raid on a compound together.

How Ukraine is Fighting Russia in Syria Task & Purpose 2024-06-19 | Ukraine released footage of their special forces battling Russian troops inside Syria. This happened in the Golan Heights. Ukraine hit Russian checkpoints, ammunition storage depots, and logistics convoys. Then Russian foot Patrols were ambushed with small arms fire. But How did Ukraine's Khimik team insert into Syria nearly 1,000 miles away? and why are they diverting forces to a seemingly unrelated battle? The fight is also spilling over into Sudan as of last year. What does it mean for all these conflicts starting to bump up against each other? Join the discord Server: discord.gg/M56sE5xjFaWhat could be some of the factors for why the conflict has drawn both Ukraine and Russia here? Sudan is currently in the midst of a violent civil war. Russia has been dealing with the Sudanese government since 2017, working to both secure things like port access and permission to build military bases, as well as training sudanese troops and assisting them in putting down protests. The two warring sides are the Sudanese armed forces, or SAF, under al-Burhan, who are currently still in control of the government. The rebelling side is the RSF, Rapid Support Forces, under Dagalo. Currently the RSF hold’s a large portion of the southwestern corner of Sudan, and their control extends north into the capital city. The RSF are also trained and equipped by the Wagner group, who are working to overthrow the Sudanese government. According to the latest reports from Sudan, about 90% of the arms and ammunition used by the RSF have been directly supplied by Russia.

Join the discord Server: discord.gg/M56sE5xjFaOr what about this U.S infantryman in the vietnam war who was snapped in the middle of using flaming arrows, or this one!? These are fully cursed times we live in. But Why is it that in the age of drones and laser-guided missiles, some of the largest militaries in the world still uses cold weapons like crossbows? Written by: Chris Cappy & Armando Duarte GalánChina's People's Liberation Army has kept crossbows in its arsenal for a few very specific operational roles. I think some of their justifications are more reasonable than others. There are several publicly available images of their security forces using crossbows during civilian riots, such as the massive Xinjiang riots of July 2009. The advantage in this situation is that Crossbows can be fitted with non-lethal bolts when you need to capture people instead of immediately sending them to meet their ancestors. It has a far longer range than other non lethal options like tasers and net catchers. But options like rubber bullets are likely just as safe and offer far greater rate of fire so that doesn’t fully explain what’s going on here.

German defense official Eva Hoegal, warned they “Have too little of everything” including spare parts, tents, modern radios, body armor, tanks and even submarines straight across the board. In fact, multiple reports have claimed that if a war were to break out tomorrow, Germany would only have enough ammunition to last for about two days of fighting.

Use my gift code CAPPYARMY to get a $20 reward, and share your biggest catch in the pinned comment!Join Fishing Clash community to stay tuned about the latest news:Instagram - bit.ly/fishingclash_officialFacebook - bit.ly/fishingclashcommunityThe Army’s new M2 Bradley is designed to increase survivability and…. oh god look at that turret, why is it so extra? They threw the entire kitchen sink at it with new sensors, weapons, and armor! There’s barely enough room for the cannon up there anymore, that turret needs to chill out. What new capabilities did the pentagon just cram up there. And how are they a response to some of the lessons learned in modern combat? Written by: Chris Cappy & Armando Duarte GalánEdited by: Savvy Studios As of 2024 the US army has 2,500 Bradley Infantry fighting vehicles of all variants that are in operational service with an extra 2,800 chilling lying around in storage. The US army has enough bradleys in a warehouse to arm several small countries several times over. The current plan is to upgrade 700 of them to the new M2A4 version by 2029. So that old one was the Bradley, this,,,, is the uh Chadley? According to this congressional budget research document the average age of these Bradleys is about 10.2 years old. (pg8) so If the army drives their IFVs like I drive my cars they still have another couple of decades left in them.Just how different is the M2A4 Bradley from the older versions? It’s basically an entirely different vehicle so don’t dead name it. First of all the new hull is larger and thicker on the bottom to counter land mines. The vehicle is also seven inches higher from the ground so that troops don’t slam into the ceiling and break their neck if they hit a mine. The larger hull increased the amount of Bradley reactive armor tiles that could be added for protection. However all these modifications came with a downside: they started to add a lot of serious weight; in its glow up, it's gone from about 25 tons to 40 tons today. With the added weight the Bradley started to slow down losing 10 kilometers per hour of max speed. So it was cruising at 56 km/h and was starting to sag lower to the ground. This might not sound like a big deal but we have to remember the Bradley is designed to operate alongside the Abrams main battle tank while it chugs along at 68 kmph. One of its main advantages is its maneuverability. That’s why the A4 version received a 675 horsepower 8 cylinder Diesel engine and hydraulic transmission as well as suspension and track upgrades to restore ground clearance and suspension reliability. That’s a big step up from the original 500 hp engine it had back in the 80s. All of that is to say the new version regains that lost speed.Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCSq3p5NKEtyp5Rjd4ctiEbg/joinTask & Purpose is a military news and culture oriented channel.
